PartOne

LUCAS AND OLIVIA

Lucas “Lucky” Anderson: A charismatic former athlete turned sports commentator, Lucky seems to have it all: fame, fortune, and a beautiful wife. However, his insatiable desire for attention and adoration leads him into a web of deception that threatens to destroy his marriage.

Olivia “Liv” Anderson: A talented, well-respected, seasoned sports journalist and wife, Liv struggles to maintain her marriage amidst her husband’s rising fame. When she discovers Lucky’s betrayal, she must decide whether to salvage their relationship or pursue her dreams.

HOW THEY MET

Lucas “Lucky” Anderson had always been a magnetic force. From his early days as a star athlete to his transition into the world of sports commentary, he had an innate ability to draw people in with his charm and charisma. Tall, with a chiseled jaw and a disarming smile, he seemed to have it all: fame, fortune, and a beautiful wife.

Lucas had been a rising star in the world of professional basketball. His journey to success had been marked by talent, hard work, and a dash of good fortune. Born in a small town, he’d honed his skills on the local courts, dreaming of one day making it to the big leagues. That dream had become a reality when he was drafted by the Chicago Stars, a team with a storied history and a passionate fan base.
